Teams in Workforce Optimization for CSM

Organize your customer service teams into assignment groups, define key performance indicators, and monitor team performance from a centralized location.

Overview

 

The Teams module enables you to set your primary team KPIs and track your team and team members against them. Teams in Workforce Optimization are a type of KPI group that allows the bundling of assignment groups together to measure and track the performance of those assignment groups in one place.

You can drill down into the child KPIs that drive the parent KPI, view all source records used to generate that KPI value, create and track performance targets, and have a 360° view of the agent's work profile.
